We employ 2011 European Union Survey on Income and Living Conditions (EU-SILC) data for
Austria to perform Markovian mobility matrix analysis and uni- and multivariate econometric analysis
to study intergenerational educational mobility by gender and migration background. We find that
the educational attainment of girls and migrants relative to their parents is less mobile than for boys
and natives. Further, the immobility of educational attainment is enhanced by the intersection of these
identities: migrant girls are the least educationally mobile group and are especially likely to follow their
mothers 19 educational footsteps, while native boys are the most mobile, especially compared to their mothers. (authors' abstract) / Series: Department of Economics Working Paper Series
